Hope everyone fared well in these storms that went through. Seen lots of pictures of damage.
Kokomo has red cross setting up at Ivy Tech for those needing assistance. Otherwise officials are advising people to stay home and out of the way.

By the grace of god, I made it through with no damage, I live maybe a half mile away from the hardest hit part of Kokomo. Please pray for all of us here. We certainly need them.

Brent Goodnight said its as bad as he's ever seen it. However just slight injuries are known at this point.. Im sure power is out in many areas. There were 88mph wind gust up by Grissom as well. Hope Spencers are ok and the rest living in the areas effected.

I was coming back up north from Kentucky and happened to be passing through Kokomo as it hit and rode it out in town. A lot of damage in town. Saw trucks overturned and buildings destroyed. Even saw a house in the middle of the road. Counting my blessings tonight and thinking about those folks down in Kokomo.

On a minor note. Does anyone know about damage that Kokomo Speedway may have sustained? I know it's not important compared to what really matters but I was just curious.

Attached a couple pictures taken by Dean Hockney of Kokomo.

Just got done talking to Jerry Spencer.

He said the family is ok and they are currently working as a part of a rescue crew.

Thank you! The Spencers are always helping others.

Looks like most the damage was thru the center to south side of Kokomo. Lots of damaged businesses and homes! Thoughts with everyone affected. We were lucky to be missed by these tornadoes by a few miles!
